Any ideas on what my clutch size might be?

Post by italianjob »

Hey hows it going?

Need to replace the clutch on my '85 C reg 1.9 DG petrol WBX - I know the only real way to know is by opening up the gearbox, but what could it most likely be :?: 215mm or 228 :?: Going to get my local (trusted and T25 friendly) garage to do the work, but having never changed a clutch on one of my vehicles before, is it about 6 hours work or slightly less :?:

beginning to realise after about 6 years of having one of these beautities, they need TLC, but its worth it :D
As somebody put in a post a few days ago, "they ain't like a saxo where you drive them and leave them, there's always somethign that needs adjusting/fixing" I suppose I've been lucky up to now.

ta for any advice :ok

No.. could be either... as you dont know if its the original engine or if anyone has been in there already..

PM me the engine number and I'll see if I can make an educated guess.. On first reaction I would have to say it should be a 228mm one though..

Are you doing it or the garage? have they asked you to supplt the clutch kit?
6 hours seems a bit generous mind..
